Details

Add an authentic operational focal point to your layout with the HO Scale Yard Tower kit from Walthers Cornerstone. Perfect for recreating busy freight yards from the 1970s through to the present day, this detailed structure represents the vital control point where yard operations are coordinated.

In large rail yards, the yard tower serves as the nerve centre for switching movements, train arrivals and departures, and the management of paperwork for freight operations. This model is based on the real-life Plaster Creek Tower located at Wyoming Yard in Grand Rapids, Michigan, offering a realistic prototype for North American railway scenes.

The kit features finely moulded brick walls and a range of separately applied detail parts including windows, doors and exterior fittings, allowing modellers to achieve a highly realistic finish. Supplied moulded in three colours, the model can be assembled straight from the box or further enhanced with painting and weathering for additional realism.

A decal sheet is also included, providing options for personalising the structure to suit your own rail yard setting.

Ideal for modern-era freight layouts, the Yard Tower is a great way to add operational realism and visual interest to any HO scale railway scene.
